Emily Lam-ho

When we think of Hong Kong women in the modern age, Emily Lam-ho is definitely top of our list. Why? Because she manages to juggle being a mother of two with being director of business development at Sing Tao News Corporation, co- founder of EcoDrive Hong Kong and founder of new sustainability concept 8Shades. A strong advocate for the environment, she has also partnered with brands including Chloe, Anya Hindmarch, HSBC and others to promote women’s empowerment. In her spare time, she has often hosted socially conscious activities like beach cleaning.

Cathy Chui Lee

Cathy Chui Lee was the first Asian Patron of Save the Children. Besides regular donations to those less fortunate than her, she is often spotted at local and global events for Aids charities including the Chi Heng foundation and amfAR. A glance at Chui Lee’s Instagram also shows the mother of three making visits to countries like Nepal and Jordan with Save The Children. It’s one thing to sponsor research and resources, quite another to visit the country in question and be an active volunteer alongside your own family. Brava!
